When I was little I used to love fish and chips. Whenever my family would order out I would always get fish and chips. One night after having my favorite meal however, I became very sick. The next day the doctor told my mom that my sudden sickness was most likely due to food poisoning and that I would feel better in a day or so. But for me the damage was already done. To this day I still cannot eat fish and chips and the smell often leaves me nauseated.
Since classical conditioning is a form of associative learning that causes organisms to anticipate events, I would say that my case of taste aversion toward fish and chips is an example of classical conditioning based on the fact that my brain now associates the smell or taste of this food with
Classical conditioning states that learning is a gradual process, that it is not possible for a subject to be classically condition in only one trial. However, if you eat something and become sick from it, there is a very good probability that you will develop a strong distaste for that food. This effect is known as taste aversion, which has brought up many questions about classical conditioning.
My example of classical conditioning would be the time I had gotten into a car accident on the highway. Now the accident wasn’t serious, but it left me scared. After the incident, every time I got into a car my body would tense up. I also would feel like I was unable to breathe. As of now I still have miniature panic attacks at the thought of riding in a car or getting on the highway.
Classical conditioning is the type of associative learning based on what happens before we respond. It begins with a stimulus that reliably triggers a behavior as a response. Classical conditioning occurs when you learn to associate two different stimuli. There is no behavior involved. The first stimulus that you will encounter is the unconditioned stimulus. Unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus essentially capable of producing a response without any previous learning. That learning is called an unconditioned response.
Classical conditioning is a form of leaning in which a neutral stimulus is paired repeatedly with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits an unconditioned behavior (Cacioppo & Freberg, 2013). When a
Classical conditioning will occur when two stimuli are paired on a consistent basis, causing a persistent reaction between the two. Throughout the span of my life, I have experienced several instances of
"One of the most famous examples of classical conditioning was John B. Watson 's experiment in which a fear response was conditioned in a young boy known as Little Albert. The child initially showed no fear of a white rat, but after the presentation of the rat was paired repeatedly with loud, scary sounds, the child would cry when the rat was present. The child 's fear also generalized to other fuzzy white objects". Classical conditioning is able to be used to intensify the quantity of someone 's conduct, while it can also lessen how they act. If all the models were to be used depending on the situations then all behaviors can be learned.
Classical conditioning has been around for some time in psychology. Now we are able to relate classical conditioning to nursing practice and education. Classical conditioning can be defined as a learning process when two stimuli are being paired together over and over. Nausea and vomiting are common in patients experiencing chemotherapy treatment. Patients with cancer are typically exposed to a very specific environment in the hospital. This setting would be the conditioned stimulus. The exposure to the hospital happens before the patient receives chemotherapy, which has nausea and vomiting as side effects. This would be the unconditioned stimulus. A patient being exposed over and over to the
The Unconditioned stimulus, smelling your favorite food you become hungry, and the Unconditioned Response, the feeling of hunger after smelling the food.
My example is operant conditioning because my mom used to reward me with a candy so that I would continue to study which would lead me to get better grades. It is not classical conditioning because it does not have unconditioned and conditioned stimulus or response. And it is not observational learning because I am not studying by watching other people doing it.
Classical conditioning is defined in the book as a component of behaviorism that explains how we learn involuntary emotional or physiological responses that are similar to instinctive or reflexive responses. One example listed in our text was test anxiety. Another example based off of common knowledge and past experiences can be classroom anxiety in general. Growing up being shy and socially awkward made classroom environments a lot harder than they should have been. My past experience of having to leave the classroom for extensive help and not connecting the same as others effected the way I communicated with peers, and sometimes still does. Not being able to connect at an early age made connecting at later stages much harder.
When I was younger I had a tendency to lie to my teachers and my parents about my homework and my mom would make me write 500 times that I would not tell a lie. Every time I would lie about my homework after that she would raise the amount of lines I had to do until finally I started doing my homework instead of lying about where it was. This is an example of operant conditioning because I learned through negative reinforcement that I should just do my homework instead of lying about what happened to it. A good example of classical conditioning would be fire alarms because when it goes off everyone is trained to get up and exit the building in an orderly fashion. I don’t have any college experience yet but the biggest thing that has altered
Classical conditioning defines learning as change in behaviour brought about by some form of action or experience (Gould, 2010). Classical conditioning is a component of behaviourism that explains how we learn when a stimulus is paired with a response (Gould, 2010). Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning when conducting research involving dogs and measuring the amount of salivation produced when either meat powder or food was present. Pavlov explored this further by conducted additional research whereby he would ring a bell before immediately presenting the dog with food. After the experiment had been repeated several times, the bell alone was sufficient to start the dog salivating. Therefore, an association between a stimulus from the environment (the bell) and a given response (salivation) has been formed.
Classical conditioning is one of the most basic forms of learning that we use today. You can see it being used in things like pet training to teaching kids how to do something. The term classical conditioning means “learning to elicit an involuntary, reflex –like response to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus that normally
Classical conditioning is unavoidable unless you keep the blank slate you have as a baby by avoiding all contact with the outside environment, it’s not only the parents that influence children into classical conditioning, any repeated of conditioned responses or conditioned stimulus will help to define a like or dislike of any one thing. The examples of the bell pepper and sour kraut are just a couple of the examples of classical conditioning set by my immediate environment, as an adult now those types of classical conditioning are further and few between, my environment is limited to those around me on a repeated basis. I now unconscientiously can decide for myself what I like or dislike by my own free will and limiting a conditioned response.
The classical conditioning refers to “to what happens prior to learning that creates a response through pairing” (Corey, 2016, p. 235). A key figure in this learning theory is Pavlov, who conducted the famous dog’s experiment. The classical conditioning involves a particular unconditioned stimulus that produces a specific unconditioned response, and then the original (unconditioned) stimulus is paired frequently enough with a new conditioned stimulus that does produce identical trained behavior. Later, both stimulus will provoke the same response autonomously.
